Malik al-Sayf

Malik al-Sayf (1165-1228) was the Dai of Jerusalem for the Assassins Order.

Biography
Malik was a direct representative of the Imam Al Mualim. He was a training partner of Altair Ibn-La'Ahad and in 1191 was sent to find the Ark of the Covenant with him, but his younger brother Kadar al-Sayf was killed when Altair blew their cover and fled the onslaught. Malik lost his left arm, but managed to take the ark to Al Mualim. He was angered at Altair for being responsible for the death of his brother, as well as Altair's arrogance.

Malik again encountered Altair in Jerusalem, where he ran a bureau. He was rather rude to him, telling him that his actions very much concerned him and that the death of Talal Eberle was not his job, but Altair's. However, he brought up the Muslim-Jewish border market, Saint Anne's Church, and the Mosque as places that Talal might be. He told him that his information was much more than he deserved.
